Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(725 ILCS 5/110-6.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 110-6.2)

Sec. 110-6.2. Post-conviction detention.

(a) The court may order
that a person who has been found guilty of an offense and who is waiting
imposition or execution of sentence be held without release unless the court finds by
clear and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee or pose
a danger to any other person or the community if released under Sections
110-5 and 110-10 of this Act.

(b) The court may order that person who has been found guilty of an
offense and sentenced to a term of imprisonment be held without release 
unless the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that:

(1) the person is not likely to flee or pose a danger

to the safety of any other person or the community if released pending appeal; and

(2) that the appeal is not for purpose of delay and

raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal or an order for a new trial.
